IS it normal for my back to hurt more after beginning to see a chiropractor?

Asked by nocountry2 (3689points) November 12th, 2008

We very fortunately just got really good health insurance, and it covers chiropractors and massage therapy. I have scoliosis (just under the curvature degree needed for a brace) and a lot of lower back pain, but haven’t seen a chiropractor for a decade. This one seems good but after going for a month of adjustments and deep-tissue massage, my back is killing me. Is it possible it hurts because the muscles are re-training themselves or something? Or am I hurting myself?

Has anybody else experienced this?
